Well done, Cul!

Boneman · 29th October 2011, 09:24 AM

Congratulations to Cul, and also to Perp, the bridesmaid at the feast. Unfortunately, the hare didn't quite catch the tortoises this month, but well done to all three excellent entries.

The Judge · 29th October 2011, 09:28 AM

Congratulations, Cul! Commiserations Perp. Another close fought race.

nixie · 29th October 2011, 05:07 PM

Congratulations Cul.

Pep, you mentioned you weren't sure if mine was based on something historical.

Tradition has it that King John was approached by Cistercian monks in 1201 asking to be exempt from taxes, after jailing them a vivid dream change his mind. He freed them and gave them land in Beaulieu and permission to building an abbey.

Dang, didn't get to vote this month, sorry. My Mum finally passed away after a period of some suffering, and coupled with a collection of other crushing weights generously heaped on me by Real Life (tm) this has meant I just haven't been able to escape to the sanctuary of the Chrons in the last couple of weeks.

Congratulations to Cul, and I can now find one more thing to look forward to in the form of next months contest rolling around soon! I've also found that there is no way to catch up on about 2 weeks worth of posts from here so I'll just have to fight my obsessive compulsive nature and NOT try to catch up on it all and just start afresh from today!

I was torn between so many HareBrain won by a hair but Parson was a close second with Karn's Alice third.

Thanks Anya. I loved the "Harebrain won by a hair" line. I hope you're still smiling at mine.

Cul congratulations indeed! and Perp great story and great fight. Two seconds has to equal at least one first. Doesn't it?

--------

Much more seriously, TheTomG -- I am really sorry for your loss. I pray your mother did not suffer overly long and that you had time to make a wonderful memory or two. God's blessings on you and her.

nixie · 29th October 2011, 07:21 PM

The tomg, my deepest condolences for your loss.

The Judge · 29th October 2011, 07:22 PM

Sorry to hear of your loss, TomG. I hope we can provide a bit of a refuge from real life for you for a while.

Karn Maeshalanadae · 29th October 2011, 07:33 PM

Deep condolences for you, Tom.

My condolences to you The TomG. Don't worry about what's going on at the SFFC, just take care of what's important. Your friends will wait for you here.

God be with your family and you sir.

Tom, my condolences to you and your family, it's a very difficult time.

Highlander · 29th October 2011, 08:30 PM

Congratulations Cul - it was a great tale amongst so many other great ones. Well done!

Sprry Perp man that you were pipped at the end.

Just catching up with the last few pages of posts - sorry to hear of your loss TomG. I lost my own mother just a few years back as well - and last year my wife's mother also passed away - she was the last of our parents. Always a sad time, so many condolances to you. I know what you are going through.

Sorry - was on holiday, couldn't get internet connection and only got back this evening.

Haven't had time to read through the stories, but just wanted to say Thank you for the mentions before I crawl into bed after a very, very long day. I will read through them at some point

TomG - very sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family at this time x

AnyaKimlin · 29th October 2011, 10:05 PM
